Lets do it this time! South East Meet, Hack-a-Miggy-Day Maybe?
Hey Amiga Friends
I know we tried to arrange a meet before with little success but maybe we'd have more success if it was some kind of event? I'm happy to do the leg work, arrange a location, book if needed, collect the subs if we have to pay to hire a hall, etc. What I'm suggesting is a Hack-a-Miggy-Day We could hire out a hall or function room, or hey I could send the missus to her Mums for the day and we could take over my lounge (although I warn you my house is a bit small ) I guess, collect people idea's and views at this stage. Perhaps people want to show off their kit, or need help with a mod or just want to see Amiga gear in action that they have not seen before. Suggestions welcome Steve. |

If you want to get the true retro copy party feel, i suggest hiring a school in the middle of winter without enough power to support all the computers, or maybe im just feeling a bit bitter as im in the north west :P

Aaah, copy parties in schools. Always puts a nostalgic smile on my face whenever someone mentions them.

Hmm... Hack-A-Miggy, eh? (Or, in my case, an A4000. )
Yeah, let's go for it! Great suggestion, Steve! |

Hey Yo All!
I've been looking at hall hire, I remembered this place from some indoor car boot sales I've been to, their rates seem pretty cheap and we might be able to negotiate a better deal. http://www.azeliahall.co.uk/page7.html Its in Beckenham, Kent and would be suitable for a meeting or event, and would work out quite cheap if we get 20+ people to attend. I'd have to check that they would allow us to use our Amiga's there, maybe there would be a surcharge for the power we'd be using. Any views? |

Yep, looks good to me.
Could get a train to Euston (£15 return) and then train to near by |
